Vikings vs Falcons

Two of the NFL’s hottest teams meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. The hometown Falcons are field-goal favorites, up a half-point from an open of 2.5. The Over-Under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 47, down a half-point from where it opened.

Atlanta has to follow these keys to a victory, or they will suffer their fifth loss on the season and be looking up at both the Panthers and Saints in the division race.

Atlanta’s biggest weakness on defense is their run containment. They allow 4.4 yards per carry and haven’t been able to consistently stop run-first teams. That will have to change against a solid Minnesota rushing attack that averages 4.0 yards per carry.
